Composer for star wars

CEBU CITY -- Amid the traditional streetdances and branded floats treading the streets of Cebu during the Sinulog festival, soldiers and vehicles from a galaxy far, far away also joined the festivities. Members of the 501st Cebu Scarif Squad, a group of Star Wars fans with an affinity for the Imperial Army, have taken their love for the iconic movie to the streets of Cebu with large-scale vessels from the franchise. The squad is part of a larger group, the 501st Legion Philippine Garrison, which is known for doing charity work while in costume. The squad had previously participated in the annual festivities in previous years, but only since 2015 have they regularly produced vessels from the Star Wars films. For 2019, they have produced a 1:230 scale Imperial Star Destroyer, the first Imperial vessel featured in "Episode IV: A New Hope." According to squad leader Luis Arambulo, the Star Destroyer took around 40 working days to produce, the longest out of all they have made so far.

WASHINGTON — A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas brilliantly made audiences wait with bated breath and glorious anticipation between “Star Wars” installments. The original trilogy held off three years in between (1977, 1980, 1983), as did the prequel trilogy (1999, 2002, 2005). However, since Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion and brought the franchise roaring back with “The Force Awakens” (2015), we now get a “Star Wars” every single year — in this case five months after “The Last Jedi” — which kind of spoils the magic. And so arrives the 10th installment “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” giving Han Solo an origin story that’s serviceable for die-hards, underwhelming for casual fans and obvious to all that it falls short of the high bar set by “Rogue One.” That film succeeded because it was a killer one-off between Roman Numeral episodes; “Solo” leaves an open … [Read more...] about Movie Review: ‘Solo’ services ‘Star Wars’ fans but pales to ‘Rogue One’

Not too long ago (3 years to be exact) in this galaxy of ours, Marc Macalula, a local Star Wars geek, set up a Facebook group. He and his friends envisioned it as their own command center of sorts where they can gush about their love for lightsabers, and as a convenient way to organize meet-ups with their fellow fans. Nowadays, it has grown to become the Philippine Lightsaber Guild (PLG), boasting more than 6,000 members across the country. They meet once a week to practice wielding lightsabers like a true Jedi, which doubles as a fitness routine for the lot of them. Watch more in iWantv or TFC.tv And much like the Force-wielding artisans they idolize, there's an order to their setup. Macalula explained that their structure has 3 main "pillars": choreography, combat and building. The first one is self-explanatory, focusing more on the performance (think ballerinas or musical theater actors but with lightsabers) and the fitness aspect of their fandom.
